"The Huffington Post" declare : Uber Taps Eric Holder To Lead Investigation Into Sexual Harassment Claims

Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will lead Uber's investigation into sexual harassment claims made by an ex-employee, the company told its workforce on Monday. "I reported his threat immediately after the meeting to both HR and to the CTO: they both admitted that this was illegal, but none of them did anything," Fowler wrote. Holder will be joined by his colleague Tammy Albarran, who is also a partner at the law firm Covington & Burling. After reading Fowler's blog, Kalanick responded in a statement to HuffPost, "What she describes is abhorrent and against everything Uber stands for and believes in." "It is my number one priority that we come through this a better organization where we live our values and fight for and support those who experience injustice," Kalanick wrote in the memo, according to The Guardian.

Holder served as Attorney General under President Obama, and has some Silicon Valley experience, after helping Airbnb craft an anti-discrimination policy. Kalanick called the accusations 'abhorrent and against everything we believe in,' and said he's instructed a new chief human resources officer to conduct an 'urgent' investigation into Fowler's claims.
